The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the differences in behavioral and cytokine response to a low dose infusion of endotoxin (vs. placebo) in individuals with histories of frequent, problematic, impulsive aggression ("aggressives") compared to similar individuals without this history ("controls"). Endotoxin is a substance that produces a reliable inflammation response in human subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do aggressive individuals have greater self-rated anger responses to low-dose endotoxin compared with controls? * Do aggressive individuals have greater analog aggressive responses (in the Taylor Aggression Paradigm) to low-dose endotoxin compared with controls? * Do aggressive individuals have greater hostile attributional and negative emotional responses (in the V-SEIP) to low-dose endotoxin compared with controls? * Do aggressive individuals have greater plasma pro-inflammatory responses to low-dose endotoxin compared with controls? * Do aggressive individuals display a greater activation of brain responses to anger-related picture during an MRI scan during low-dose endotoxin compared with controls? Researchers will compare endotoxin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) explore the differences in behavioral and cytokine response to a low dose infusion of endotoxin (vs. placebo) in individuals with histories of frequent, problematic, impulsive aggression ("aggressives") compared to similar individuals without this history ("controls"). Participants will: * Receive a low-dose of endotoxin and placebo on two (2) separate days. The study drugs will be given through a plastic tube inserted in a forearm vein. * Visit the laboratory on at least two (2) separate days to receive the endotoxin and placebo. * Complete rating forms, behavioral testing, and an MRI on each of the two (2) laboratory days.

This trial tests if inhaling nitrous oxide can help normalize brain function in people with impulsive aggression. Participants with and without aggressive tendencies will inhale the gas and undergo brain scans to see if it improves their brain activity. The goal is to find a potential treatment for those with Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Nitrous oxide has been shown to reduce involuntary movements in cerebral palsy patients, indicating its potential to affect brain function.

The investigators are studying how certain drugs can reduce anger outbursts in people with anger problems. In this study the investigators seek to determine if a single 34 mg (two 17 mg tablets) oral dose of the 5-HT2a receptor blocker, pimavanserin, will reduce aggressive responding in individuals with impulsive aggression (Intermittent Explosive Disorder: IED) on a laboratory task that assesses aggression (Taylor Aggression Paradigm: TAP). We will also be examining how this drug impacts hostile social cognition e.g., hostile attribution). If pimvanserin reduces aggression in this study a next step would be a placebo-controlled treatment trial of pimavanserin in study participants with IED. Participation will first involve a remote (e.g., TEAMS) screening session. If potential study participants appear eligible they will come into the lab for an in-person session where participants will complete interviews and questionnaires and have a medical evaluation (including a physical exam, electrocardiogram, and screens for alcohol and drug use). During the next study session, participants will complete a diagnostic interview and a series of questionnaires, all of which can all take place on-line. During the next two sessions (which will be in-person) participants will undergo two (2) study sessions during which study participants will be given a study drug (orally). The drug given, pimavanserin, is currently available and is known to block serotonin receptors thought to be involved in regulating anger. After participants take the study drug, study participants will complete questionnaires and computer tasks for assessment of aggression and of hostile social cognition. Each of these two in-person study sessions will take at least eight (8) hours. A final on-line session will be done to make certain the investigators have all the data required by the study protocol.

Alcohol intoxication is responsible for a large proportion of violent crime/assault and personal injury in our society. While a number of variables have been associated with alcohol-related aggression, high trait aggression and impaired executive function have been identified as key factors. Both Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Impulsive Aggression behavior (AGG) are related to impaired social-emotional information processing (SEIP) whereby social threat cues, especially ones that are ambiguous in nature, lead to hostile attribution and negative emotional response to the "other" and, then, aggression against the "other". Thus, understanding the underlying neuroscience of SEIP under the influence of alcohol will be critical to identifying targets for intervention to reduce alcohol-related aggressive behavior. In addition to potential pharmacologic and cognitive-behavioral based interventions, such interventions may also involve the rehabilitation of aberrant neuronal circuits underlying social cognitive function through neuroplasticity-based remediation exercises. This study is designed to see how brain activation of cortico-limbic circuits involving social-emotional information processing, analyzed by fMRI Imaging, are impacted by alcohol administration in those with and without aggressive disorders and with and without alcohol use disorder.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Intermittent Explosive Disorder clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Intermittent Explosive Disorder clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Intermittent Explosive Disorder trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Intermittent Explosive Disorder is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Intermittent Explosive Disorder medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Intermittent Explosive Disorder clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Endotoxin for Aggression, Pimavanserin for Aggression and Cognitive Behavioral Affective Therapy for Anger to the Power online platform.
